General Description Overview The Montalvo Z4 Unwind tension controller provides precise automatic control of web tension. The progressive PID regulator automatically compensates for roll diameter. The controller is used in a closed loop, of which the load cell roller and a brake (or other tension-affecting device) are part.
Electrical Installation 3.6 Installation - Load Cell The following terminals are for load cell connections. The standard cable from Montalvo is supplied with a connector for the load cell. Wire the other end into the terminal block of the circuit board.
2. Before applying power to the controller, check that analog tension meter, if used, is set to Version Tension zero. If using Montalvo M4 tension meter, mechanically adjust needle with screw at base of Setpoint meter scale as needed. Note: If using Z4 HMI, digital display of tension will match circuit Output board adjustment.
In a standard braking system, each brake pad is connected in parallel to the regulated air output. Start Menu Stop Menu In a range expander system, pads are divided into groups called ranges using the Montalvo Hold Menu P3000HD-RE Automatic Range Expander. There can be between 2 and 4 ranges. Each range Diameter Menu is driven from a separate valve switch within the enclosure.
(COM) COMMUNICATION (USB 2.0 Option) The Montalvo Z4 controller is available with an optional USB communications port for setting up and viewing the status of parameters by a computer. All items necessary for using USB are included in the package.
COMMUNICATION Ethernet Option (e.g. Ethernet/IP) The Montalvo Z4 Controller will soon be available to provide communication capability within an industrial ethernet network (e.g. Ethernet/IP). This option can be added to an existing Z4 board by simply swaping out the ethernet capable communications card with the existing card.
